Episode 09 (32) Manifest

D... Don't!

Wen Ning?

Wen Ning,

what are you doing dressed like that?

The corpses are coming.

It's dangerous.

I... I wanted to chase the villagers away.

If news got out about this,

you would lose your reputation, Ghost General.

(Inn)

Lan Zhan,

do you remember this place?

(Restaurant)

I do.

I said I would treat you.

But you still ended up paying.

Thank you, Rich Brother.

Wen Yuan.

If he is "Rich Brother",

then who am I?

Poor Brother.

Eat.

Young Master.

If Yuan

were still alive,

he would be in his teens now.

(Yiling Burial Mounds)

Wen Ning?

(Tomb of Wen Qing)

Sister...

Brother Xian!

Mr. Wei, you're back.

Brother Xian!

Brother Xian, look!

Grandmother made this for me.

Isn't it nice?

Mm.

Don't look at it anymore.

I had expected this.

But I just wanted

to see it myself.

Kill them!

Kill the Yiling Patriarch!

Young Master,

the cultivator clans are here.

I don't want to die.

What exactly does the Yiling Patriarch want to do?

It's a given, isn't it?

He is going to turn us into his corpse puppets.

That despicable Wei dog.

He is absolutely heartless!

Shut up.

As if talking will get us out of these spiritual binds.

You are so noisy.

Noisy?

Who do you think you are?

You're just an orphan!

Do you want to die, Jin Ling?

Can you guys please calm down?

Right now...

Should you really be fighting at a time like this?

Not bad, Sizhui.

You even learned how to fight while we were gone.

Hanguang-jun! Senior Wei!

Hanguang-jun!

Why are you guys so happy about this?

He... He is going to turn us into corpses!

Oh, you found out.

Mind you. It might hurt a little.

Hanguang-jun! Senior Wei!

Hanguang-jun!

Are you all right?

We only got a few minor injuries when we were captured.

Who brought you guys here?

I don't know.

But I knew it wasn't Senior Wei

from the start.

All right. Let's hurry up and get out of here.

Ghost General.

Uncle!

Father!

- Father! - Mother! Brother!

Jin Ling.

Why are you still standing there?

Get over here!

Wangji.

Uncle.

Mr. Lan.

I had my doubts over what happened

back then in the Ming Room.

I should've known you were...

Never mind.

Hanguang-jun!

What in the world did the Yiling Patriarch do to you

to make you lose reason and sight of what is right and wrong?

That devil controlled the corpses

and captured children to practice demonic cultivation.

Why would you...

He was not the one who controlled the corpses.

Neither was he the one who captured

the young disciples.

- That's right! - That's right!

Father.

It's true.

They came to save us.

This is no place for children to speak up.

Do you even know who that is?

The Yiling Patriarch saving others? Ridiculous.

Wei Wuxian,

how dare you still smile?

For over ten years,

you've committed countless heinous acts!

Chifeng-zun's body was dismembered.

Madam Jin was forced to commit suicide.

The late Clan Leader Jin's ignominious death.

Who knows if those were all your doing?

And now, you've caused Lianfang-zun to be severely injured...

Stop right there.

You can't make accusations

without proof.

I'm too busy to do all of that.

Wei Wuxian,

you can deny all of that.

But can you deny what you did at Qiongqi Road and Nevernight City?

That's right!

You took the lives of thousands!

It would not be enough even if he died ten thousand times!

You devil!

We want justice! Blood for blood!

You killed my parents!

My son died of a festering curse!

I came for nothing else

but to prove

that there is justice in this world! The evil will not be let free!

Justice will prevail! Evil will not be let free!

(Jin)

(Jiang, Jin, Lan, Nie)

Everyone.

Back then, Spirit Lure Formations had been secretly set up

in Qiongqi Road and Nevernight City.

The culprit who cast the Hundred Holes Curse

was someone else as well.

Lan Wangji.

Everyone knows that Wei Wuxian commanded the Ghost General

and killed thousands!

Don't you dare try to make baseless claims

and twist the facts!

Many years have passed,

but there are traces to prove it.

(Qiongqi Road)

(Nevernight City)

Oh, I got it.

The culprit used a Spirit Lure Formation to trigger the Stygian Tiger Amulet

and disturb the mind of the holder.

This is truly...

Lan Wangji!

What other intentions do you have?

You were there during the massacre in Nevernight.

You saw what the blood bath with your own eyes.

And now, you are making up

all these lies to defend him.

They say that Hanguang-jun has a fair and just character.

Hmph. What a joke.

You're strange indeed.

You said Hanguang-jun was making baseless claims.

But when we showed you the proof, you insisted on denying them.

We can't just

take your words for it.

We saw how you commanded the Ghost General!

Oh, you reminded me of another point.

That's strange.

I wonder who said that the Ghost General was already destroyed?

You...

Stop trying to stir up a dispute and twisting the facts!

This is bad.

Be careful, everyone.

The second wave of corpses is here.

Kill Wei Wuxian,

and the corpses will disperse!

I already told you that I'm not the one controlling them.

Rather than wasting your time on me,

you should get rid of them first.

Uncle!

What is going on?

Our spiritual energy.

It's gone!

Wei Wuxian,

what sort of sorcery did you use?

Everyone, get inside the Devil's Den.

There's an array set up inside.

It'll hold off the corpses for a while.

Great!

We can't go in there!

There's definitely a worse trap in there waiting for us!

You'll die either way if you don't.

Are you so eager to have everyone die with you, Clan Leader Su?

There is an array inside!

Seniors, please come and help me!

I don't know how to fix this array!

Uncle.

Proceed with caution.

This is the spot, Senior Lan.

The array has been fixed.

Let's go.

Your Golden Core is unharmed.

You should be able to recover your spiritual energy.

But it's strange indeed.

We were neither harmed nor poisoned.

Why would we lose our spiritual energy all of a sudden?

You'll have to ask that Wei Wuxian.

If I did cast something,

why were the children's spiritual energy unharmed?

That's right.

Considering the time,

something must have happened on your way here.

You had better think about

what you did along the way.

What did we do?

What else could we be doing

besides killing corpses?

Kill the corpses?

That's right.

That's enough, Clan Leader Nie.

To think you're actually discussing it with him.

This devil is an evil...

Carry on.

How domineering.

He won't even let others speak.

To think the Lan Clan of Gusu valued propriety and discipline.

To think Hanguang-jun was regarded as the role model of cultivators.

The urgent matter at hand is to find the reason

behind everyone's loss of spiritual energy.

If everyone was willing to discuss the matter peacefully,

Hanguang-jun would not have had to resort to this.

That's right.

Your clan leader was once a part of the Lan Clan of Gusu.

You can't just turn around and bite our hands!

Used to be a part of the Lans?

Mm.

The Su Clan of Moling

was a branch from the Lan Clan of Gusu.

That means...

He knows the Lan's sword techniques as well.

He knows more than that.

He knows the Lan Clan's Seven-stringed Zither as well.

Clan Leader Su is funny indeed.

He tried to copy Hanguang-jun,

but he is particular about others saying that about him.

Jingyi, lower your voice.

Our clan leader is gifted.

What do you mean he "copied" Hanguang-jun?

The leader of a clan?

He couldn't even play the "Sound of Vanquish" properly.

And you say that he is gifted?

What do you mean?

Hanguang-jun.

Along the way, we played the "Sound of Vanquish" to eliminate the corpses.

But everyone from the Su Clan

was unable to play it properly and made a lot of mistakes.

Their skills were obviously poor,

but they refused to admit it.

I think that wasn't the case.

I think they did it on purpose.

What exactly are you implying?

I'll make it clear then.

Everyone here lost their spiritual energy

because all of them did the same thing.

Killing corpses.

Clan Leader Su and his disciples

pretended to play the zither to eliminate the corpses,

but in fact, they changed

a part of the tune

into another one that would cause others to lose their spiritual energy temporarily.

Lies and slander!

Does such an evil tune actually exist?

(Collection of Turmoil)

Of course.

Even if it exists,

I have been unable to enter the gates of the Lan Clan

ever since I left,

much less enter the Room of Forbidden Books.

You can't go in.

But your master can.

Su She's master?

Lianfang-zun?

Your plan was well thought out.

One would use dark music to seal others' spiritual energy.

The other would use an excuse of injury to avoid getting involved

and control the corpses with the Stygian Tiger Amulet.

In the end, thousands would die in my territory.

To say that it was not my doing?

Who would believe that?

Ridiculous.

Lianfang-zun is the Chief Cultivator.

What would he gain from doing this?

It's one thing for you to slander me,

but to slander Lianfang-zun...

It's fine

if you won't admit it.

This is a page that Jin Guangyao took from the "Collection of Turmoil"

and hid inside his secret room.

Please take a look, Mr. Lan.

To see if there is indeed a part of the music score played by the Su Clan on it.

Be careful, Senior Lan!

Did my eyes deceive me?

You still have your spiritual energy?

The... The scars of the Hundred Holes Curse!

I knew it.

This is bad!

This is bad!

The array was destroyed!

- Ghost General, we'll assist you! - Ghost General, we'll assist you!

Lan Zhan.

Mm.

There's something I want to do.

I'll do it with you.

The... The Spirit Lure Flag!

What are they trying to do?

This is

the only method left

to lure the corpses away.

Using their own flesh as bait.

You mustn't!

You'll die!

Use us as well! We will all become targets together!

Be good now.

Save your energy

and escort everyone back.

Mr. Lan.

Hanguang-jun and Senior Wei...

This is how it should be.

Take the blood of the living

as a sacrifice.

Ai wa shitteiru

I have known love

Kodoku mo shitteiru

The loneliness I have known

Monogatari wa ima owari tsugeru

Now this story is coming to an end

Ugokidasu yume no saki e

The dream began to move forward

Taenu arasoi no hate ni

What awaits us

Nani ga bokura wo matteiru deshou?

at the end of this unbearable battle?

Sore ga totemo utsukushii no nara

If it was a beautiful

Kokoro wa mitasareteku kara

it would fulfill my heart immensely

Ima, tsukiyo ni hibiita uta

Now, the scent of the tree

Kaze hakobu mokuren no nioi

that sings the poem resonates in the moonlit night

Mahou no you ni kokoro wo tsukande

has seized my heart like magic

Itsu made mo hanasou to wa shinai

that will never be spoken of again

Parapara hora chiru negai ga

I wonder when that desire will fall apart

Itsu kara ka na futari dakara

As long as there are two of us,

Kanaerareru to shinjite

I believe we can make it come true

Sora ni kaeru no sa

Return to the Sky

Ai wo shitteiru

I have known love

Kodoku mo shitteiru

The loneliness I have known

Monogatari wa ima owari wo tsugeru

Now this story is coming to an end

Urayamu senaka mae ni

The real behind your envious exterior

Bokura niteiru

We are the same

Hontou wa shitteiru no

Do you really know?

Wasure yuku inori ga kienu you ni

Forget about it so that a wish will not fade away

Arigatou tte itta toki,

When you say "thank you",

Boku no kimochi shitta desho...?

Do you really know my feelings?
